Air marshals shoot man on plane

Federal air marshals shot and killed a man who said he had a bomb aboard an American Airlines plane at Miami International Airport, CNN said.

The man, who allegedly was acting in a threatening manner, reportedly ran down the aisle of the plane shouting that he had an explosive in his carry-on backpack, CBS Radio reported.

CBS said the gunfire occurred just outside the aircraft door on the Jetway ramp leading from the plane to the Terminal D concourse, when the man was challenged by air marshals who ordered him to lay on the ground.

There was no evidence the man had a bomb, CNN reported. CBS said a woman who claimed to be the man’s wife said he suffered from a bi-polar mental condition and had not taken his medication.
Clearly this man was rightfully shot. He should've taken his meds—otherwise this wouldn't have happened; after all, it's his fault he's bipolar! He shouldn't have screamed that he had a bomb while reaching into his bag!

Remember, too, that this incident does not mean that airport security needs to be reworked or dismantled; in fact, it proves that it's working! How would we know it's working unless the Federal air marshals shot someone every once in a while, eh? And while I'm proving my case so well, I propose that the two marshals be given medals to honor their bravery for shooting an unarmed bipolar man!

Don't give in to the Kooky Kool-Aid Kommies! If you really love America, you'll praise the actions of the Federal air marshals and continue to support this program that works so well!

No, I don’t actually believe a word up there in my “analysis” of the article and situation.
